MBIE is proactively releasing documents provided to the Minister for Energy and Minister for Resources relating to the independent review of the electricity market performance and release of the Government's Energy Package.
MBIE publishes the latest information on fuel stocks and shipping every Monday and Wednesday afternoon.
We’re responsible for advising the Government on energy efficiency and renewable energy policy for New Zealand. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) is responsible for implementing programmes to improve the energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy by New Zealand homes and business.
There are sufficient levels of fuel in New Zealand, and on the way. However, it is important we plan and prepare for the unlikely event of a prolonged global fuel shortage.
New requirements for electric vehicle (EV) chargers supplied in New Zealand will help increase the uptake of smart EV charging across the country and reduce pressure on the electricity grid.
The gas market is governed by regulations and rules jointly developed by the Gas Industry Company and the government.
Natural gas underpins electricity supply security, supports a substantial petrochemical manufacturing sector and is used by many export industries. In addition, many households and businesses use gas for heating and cooking.
Maintaining gas supply for all its current uses is vital to our energy security for the foreseeable future.
This page describes the energy markets regulatory system and its objectives. It also lists the main statutes and changes to regulation either planned or in progress.
